Here’s some video of the SSAO buffer as I run around in the C4 Engine. The details about this particular flavor of ambient occlusion are discussed in FGED2, Section 10.5.

SSAO is such a delightful hack, and such a terribly finicky tool at the same time…
If you can afford real AO (distance fields or whatever) they are more robust!

I remember many years ago, I put off implementing SSAO for a long time because it was such a hack. But I consider that to have been a mistake because, when implemented well, SSAO does a very nice job most of the time and is 100% dynamic.
